Overview
- Thomas Kail’s Off-Broadway revival opened December 11 at St. Ann’s Warehouse and is scheduled to run through February 1, 2026.
- Critics describe the production as uneven or dull in stretches, with several questioning Williams’ fit for O’Neill’s twenty-year-old heroine and noting thick accents that obscure dialogue.
- Brian d’Arcy James earns frequent praise as Chris Christopherson, while Tom Sturridge’s Mat Burke draws criticism for overplayed intensity from some reviewers.
- Design and atmosphere receive strong notices, including Christine Jones and Brett J. Banakis’ shifting scenography, Steven Hoggett’s movement, Natasha Katz’s lighting, and Nicholas Britell’s original score, though some find these elements distracting.
- Preview performances encountered technical hiccups, including a rebuilt wall of bottles after a first-preview collapse and a brief delay to address sound issues.
